Beneath the Graceful Plumbline: Verses of the Cross #774

Beneath the Graceful Plumbline: Verses of the Cross Between heaven and earth, the Cross stands tall, A bridge of grace, where divine whispers call. "Today with Me, in Paradise, you'll be," Words from Jesus, setting the captive free. This emblem, God's plumbline, drawn in love, Marks a path of mercy from above. A journey of redemption, wide and deep, Where past shadows no longer haunt our sleep. Through resurrection's mighty act of grace, A canvas unfolds, each soul finds its place. The Cross, a beacon of unfailing love, Guides us home to the heavens above. Here, in the shadow of sacrifice made, Our debts forgiven, our fears allayed. The Cross stands as the measure of God's heart, A promise of a new, unending start. On this path illuminated by grace, Every step brings us closer to His embrace. Under the Cross, God's graceful plumbline, We find our way, divine and benign. So let us journey, with hearts wide open, Towards the Cross, where true words are spoken. For in its shadow, redemption is found, And in its grace, our lives are unbound. Written by Steven G. Lee (April 4, 2024)
